Chapter 1126: Became the Center of Attention
At that moment, the audience in the venue could hardly contain their excitement, waving the national flag and constantly screaming and cheering.
At this time, athletes from other countries also completed their routines one by one, stepped down, and communicated with their coaches.
And then the scores came out.
The commentator immediately got excited, his voice completely cracking as he shouted, "Di Xiaxia, 99.95 points!"
The commentator covered his face with his hands, exclaiming, "Oh my God, only 0.05 points deducted—how did she do it? How did she do it?"
Upon hearing the scores, the friends and family in the audience went crazy, with Gu Qibao and the others screaming in shock—incredulous, utterly incredulous—it was nearly a perfect score!
Di Xiaxia herself was stunned too; she really hadn’t anticipated such a high score.
The coach was so excited that he grabbed her hand, his lips trembling as he said, "If nothing goes wrong, the championship is yours, Xiaxia!"
The people at the venue were also going crazy, Oh my God, unbelievable, totally unbelievable—to be the first to compete, the first to finish, and the first to score so high.
Scoring continued, with other athletes not reaching Di Xiaxia’s high scores, separately scoring 97.35, 96.00, 95.95, 93.94, 93.92, 92.84, 92.71.
Then, on the big screen at the venue, the athletes’ names, nationalities, and scores were displayed, with Di Xiaxia ranking first, more than two points ahead of the second place.
The whole venue erupted, with a feeling that the championship was about to be secured.
Even Dan Youguo, who had been observing from the observation room, couldn’t help but feel a little excited; capturing the first gold would be such an honor for him!
Reporters who had already been restless on the ground rushed forward en masse, directly crowding around Di Xiaxia.
There would be a twenty-minute interview period, which also served as time for other athletes to prepare.
The reporters surged forward and bombarded her with questions.
"Miss Xiaxia, are you satisfied with the score?"
"Was it beyond your expectations?"
"You seemed very relaxed during the contest—weren’t you competitive at all? How do you adjust your emotions and mindset?"
One after another, the reporters fired off their questions, and Di Xiaxia, somewhat embarrassed, smiled.
She answered earnestly and honestly, "I’m quite satisfied with the score; it was definitely an exceptional performance, so it was quite unexpected."
"During the competition, I was indeed more relaxed than during training sessions. As for how I managed that," Di Xiaxia chuckled, "that is a secret, not yet to be disclosed."
The reporters were even more excited, eager to ask more, but since she had said it was not convenient to disclose, they couldn’t pursue further.
However, the reporters were still very excited and quickly asked, "So, who would you like to thank most at this moment?"
"The first I must thank is definitely my country," Di Xiaxia replied officially, as Di Mingzhe had coached her, making her responses smooth.
"Thank the country for its efforts to integrate extreme sliding into formal competitive sports, which gave me the opportunity to stand here," Di Xiaxia said with a smile yet seriously, "and also the national leaders who greatly supported this event, giving us tremendous encouragement and inspiration. Next, of course, I must thank my coach, as well as my comrades-in-arms who fought alongside me."
